Trampoline Fun!

This is what happens when you have a safety net around your trampoline! Your daughter fractures her leg anyway!!! I always wondered why my parents had the rule of only two at a time on the trampoline, now I know! lol Savana is being a good sport though, she's had lots of visitors and many gifts from friends and family to keep her busy. She's had the cast for two weeks now and has two more weeks to go, so it's not as bad as it could be. I'm pretty sure that this cast is a blessing in disguise. Just about a month and a half ago, Don and I were beside our selves with what to do about Savana's rash on her upper thigh. She's been picking at it for a year now and we can't keep her away from it. We literally have tried EVERYTHING! From keeping a bandage on it 24/7 to making her wear mittens to bed and nothing has worked. I told Don in April that maybe we should see if a Dr. would put a cast on it, that's how desperate we're getting. Low and behold, what are we blessed with? A CAST!!! It goes right up to the top of her thigh! We can still see the top part of her wound she's been picking at, but for the most part, she can't touch it! The Lord works in mysterious ways! Here's some pictures of her enjoying all the attention.

Cristmas with Brennan

This Christmas was our first Christmas as a whole family. Brennan's plane was delayed a couple of days, but even though he got here on the 26Th instead of the 23rd, we still had a wonderful time together. This is a video of him passing out the gifts he got for everyone and then opening the gifts everyone got for him.

Christmas Eve

This is a video of Don cutting down our first real Christmas tree. Just to warn you viewers, I talk way too much in this clip.

Baby Tamara

Our little girl turned 1 year old on November 20th!
We celebrated our last first birthday.

Mexico, in October

Don and I went to Mexico in October. This is Don

under the

tiki hut on the beach of the resort we stayed at. The other picture is me on the sunset cruise we took.

Tada!! Nice view huh? Below is

another shot we took on the sunset cruise.

Don and I, doing our best to not do anything at all really. hahaha! We had such a wonderful time, relaxing. It was one of the best trips I've ever been on and we can't wait to go back to Mexico for another visit. Great food, great people, great EVERYTHING!

Wesley's 2 years old!

Wesley's birthday was on the 20Th and we had a great time celebrating! He opened his presents while Don made pancakes for his birthday breakfast.

Then he had a doctors appointment and afterwords he got to go

to Wasilla lake for a picnic and play in the water with the ducks!

He's eating Oreo cookies and soaking his shoes. I couldn't stop him and I didn't feel like he needed stopping.

Then after Don got home from work, we sang happy birthday

and he blew out his candles. it was a lot of fun!

Here's some shots of him getting all messy with his cake. Don't worry, Donny and Savana got to eat cake too, they just didn't have any in these pictures. hahaha

We got a sail boat! It's just perfect for our little family and we LOVE it! It's so relaxing laying out on the boat while the wind takes us where we want to go. Very quiet and peaceful.
Don steers the rudder while holding Tamara. Look at those smiles!

I love this picture. Wesley kept popping his head up from below, where him and Tamara were staying warm and looking at books. Our boat sleeps 4 adults comfortable. It's so much fun!

We call Donny "Swab" a nick-name he picked up after we watched the movie "Captain Ron" he did a good job at helping with the sails when Daddy yelled "JIVE HO!" it was so cute!
